Abstract
CONDITIONS at the present moment can scarcely be regarded as propitious for any new undertaking in scientific teaching or research which looks to the financial support of the public for its funds; but the appeal for £30,000 to found an archæological institute in the University of London, which has been launched by Sir Charles Peers, and to which he made reference in his presidential address to the Society of Antiquaries on April 28, is more than justified, even if it were only on the ground of its urgency. It has the backing of the heads of the principal learned societies and other bodies in London which are interested in archæological studies; and it will receive cordial endorsement among those who are acquainted with the difficulties which, in present circumstances, hamper the organisation of these studies, not only in London, but also in other educational centres where archæology is a recognised subject of instruction.
